Ouch! Yikes, I would have ran out of there, too...I've had a few moments where I've almost been caught talking shit about this public defender who I absolutely can't stand. Very very awkward and that should teach me to keep my mouth shut. On another note...what kind of internship has you taking trash out for the janitor?

Ha...yes that sounded like a rough one. Kindof like the time I congratulated a girl on being pregnant..on the elevator...and she was coming to the OBGYN to see why she couldn't conceive. AWKWARD. P.S. I love me some spaghettios(sp?) too!!

I'm a teacher and I run into parents all over the place. Most of the time I recognize them but have NO CLUE who their kid is. Um, yeah. The whole, "I've seen you around school, I KNOW I've talked with you, but I have NO CLUE who you belong to." so we talk about generalities until I figure it out. Sometimes I walk away still trying to figure out who the parent belongs to. Then the next day the kid tells me that I talked to their parent the night before. DOH! :)

You know what I love about your blog . . . it's the fact that when I'm scrolling down my google reader and all I can see is the title of the post, I instantly know it's your blog . . . just from the post title. When I read, "Sorry you're not memorable . . . but at least your job sucks," I knew it was your post. ;)

Oh my I did something the other day that was like a crawl under desk moment for sure. I was working in the none profit thrift store and was ringing up a guys books, He had white hair I automatically gave him the senior discount of 50 % off so he was getting the books for 25 cents each nice deal I thought. H came back and said he had over paid and I said nope you got the senior discount and got a great deal.... He looked at me funny and I intermediatly could tell he was offended.

On a lighter note there is a give away on my blog come and play and try to win!!!!

Well my embarrassing moment was when i was about to show to show some kids a Yo-Yo trick.. i had done tat so many times before... and it was pretty dangerous so before starting.. i asked them all to move back and to watch out.... let's just say tat trick never happened... and instead got everyone giving me "Yeah tat's the trick, Smarty Pants" look... and i am scarred for life...

Well, hi. I'm Helena. I grew up on a blueberry farm in Western Michigan. My days were spent reading on the beach in the summer, and reading in my bedroom under a quilt in the chilly Michigan winter. I moved out to Utah to go to school, and to get away from my family. You know, typical angsty teenager stuff. While out there, I met this guy named Kurt, who was also from Michigan. But we were just friends.

Flash forward 9 years. We got married, and then we moved to Pittsburgh so he could go to Dental School. What can I say, the guy likes teeth. Now we have a little girl, a baby boy, two little turtles, and a whole new adventure ahead of us. Welcome to my life.
